Unlabelled: The glued posterior chamber intraocular lens (PC IOL) requires externalization of a sufficient length of both haptics to obtain an adequate intrascleral tuck, which is vital for stable IOL fixation. One cause of a decreased length of externalized haptic may be a sclerotomy that is inadvertently placed posteriorly. We describe a technique to handle this situation by creating a fresh sclerotomy anterior to the first one, followed by internalizing the haptic and reexternalizing it through the new sclerotomy.

Study Design: Biomechanical Cadaveric Study.

Objectives: Following the successful use of a novel implantable sensor (Monitor) in evaluating the progression of fracture healing in long bones and posterolateral fusion of the spine based on implant load monitoring, the aim of this study was to investigate its potential to assess healing of transosseous fractures of a lumbar vertebra stabilized with a pedicle-screw-rod construct.

Methods: Six human cadaveric spines were instrumented with pedicle screws and rods spanning L3 vertebra.

Purpose: To compare the quality of images of gratings placed in a model eye viewed through an extended depth of focus (EDoF) intraocular lens (IOL) to that of diffractive bifocal IOL or monofocal IOL.

Design: Experimental laboratory investigation.

Methods: Nondiffractive wavefront shaping EDoF (CNAET0, Alcon Laboratories), echelette-designed EDoF (ZXR00V, Johnson & Johnson Vision), diffractive bifocal IOL with low power addition (SV25T, Alcon Laboratories), or monofocal IOL (CNA0T0, Alcon Laboratories) was placed in a fluid-filled model eye.

Ocular comorbidities can happen as congenital defective gene associations. We present a 37-year-old female patient who was mentally challenged and had coexisting achromatopsia gene abnormality on genetic analysis. She was operated in childhood for congenital cataract, and posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) was implanted at 10 years of age elsewhere.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to evaluate visual and refractive outcomes of intraocular lens (IOL) fixation surgeries in cases where the natural lens support was absent.
  • A total of 120 eyes from 112 patients were reviewed, with findings indicating that iris-fixated IOLs performed better than scleral-fixated ones in terms of visual efficacy.
  • The results suggested that surgical techniques using smaller incisions and foldable IOLs are safer and more effective than traditional methods that require larger incisions.
